Just a reminder that this is a deal thread for a Lenovo product. If you don't like the merchant/brand, simply TD and move on to a thread you might like better. Using the deal thread to post negative comments/opinions having to do with China and/or the CCP is not the point of this platform.
While Lenovo does manufacture their products in China, they also have plants in the United States, India, Mexico, Brazil, and Japan. Let's move on. Thanks!

For the record, only difference between i5 and i7 (11/12 gen) is a couple MB of cache. U processors are 2 Performance + 8 efficiency core, P is 4P+8E cores. However, battery sucks on P28 cores (12 or 13th generation). Check out https://ark.intel.com for all CPU specs.

That said, I avoid any computers I can that is Chinese branded. Granted just about everything is manufactured or assembled in China, but the control of the software loaded onto the system is also in control of said company.
That's saying as someone that is Chinese. I used to love Thinkpad, but now moved over to Surface and considering Framework. Infinitely upgrade-able (well almost). Otherwise, MacBook's is another option.

It's a solid machine in most ways. Well built, feels good in hand, good keyboard, decent trackpad, great display, extremely lightweight. No real driver issues thanks to most of its hardware (wifi/bt, etc) being Intel.
By far its main weak point is the 11th gen CPU. Battery life is just ok and it can get warm maybe a little too easily with a moderate load. That said, it's more than enough for light-demand tasks, just don't expect it to be a powerhouse.
Basically any major Chinese company has CCP sitting amidst their leadership. I'm part Chinese and part Vietnamese, and I hate to perpetuate negativity against my own heritage, but reality is what it is.
If you ever traveled, there even on small scale operations, they will send out questionable people (read goverment employees) disguised to keep tabs on you. To ensure you aren't spreading message that goes against the government. They will inspect and view everything you bring in or out of the country.
It's not simply just a case of culturally things are different. No, it's outright authoritarian and outright dangerous to the rest of the world. There are plenty of things the Chinese do so much better than us here in the US, but ultimately it is still authoritarian.
Check Amex for Lenovo offer to further sweeten the deal
mine had $100 off $500
i could go on the details, but with XPS you forced to live with dongles. just keep that in mind if you want XPS.

This makes absolutely no sense. HP and Dell vets their boxes. That's the entire point, that they are in charge of the manufacturing, despite being contracted to Chinese manufacturers. The software is also provided by Dell/HP i.e. companies that are headquartered in the US and answers to US laws. Just look at Huawei headquartered in China. The best we can do is sanction them.

The difference might appear small, but it's a whole architectural change as well as manufacturing improvements (at least on the desktop side). Intel honestly really dropped the ball, and AMD is technically better here, but they aren't as commonly available unfortunately.
